Another Grand Opening

Is it just me, or is there unlimited demand for car tires?

4th of July Kayaking around Lake Yosemite

4th of July Kayaking near Lake Yosemite

Ann and I joined a few others on kayaks early in the morning on the 4th of July. Refreshing!

From his kayak Sam took a photo of the four of us on his iPhone. Here’s that photo. I cropped it to include only Annyth and me.

You know this one would be fun to drive in Cuba or Merced. There it sits on North Parsons Ave..

I’ve been meaning to do this. Those irises made me do it.

Merced Art Hop

Almost two weeks ago I participated in – as an artist – my first Merced Art Hop (MAH). I was stationed at Binary Systems Computer Repair on the corner of Main St. and M St. in downtown Merced, CA.. About 20 people stopped in to chat and see prints on canvas and paper of my digital, iPad drawings. I learned a lot, sold a piece, and got an order for a larger canvas print of one of the images. As folks strolled by, I sketched these two drawings of my view shed in Procreate (with final touches in iColorama).

1962 Corvair Monza Wagon in Merced, CA

Yesterday, which happened to be the day after yet another shameful Republican
“Presidential” Debate in which decency and civility were set back at least 100 years, I saw what I’m almost certain was a 1962 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Wagon on Main St. in Merced, CA, and I was quick enough to pull out my iPhone and catch a photo, which I used as a reference for a freehand drawing in Procreate using the Apple Pencil.

Richard’s 63 Chevy

There it was. Right in the Save Mart parking lot in broad daylight.
